Oh man, that pickup ring MUST have some great tone! I mean, it was from a '59 Les Paul, after all! Only 23 hours left! Must buy....

Between the grammar, spelling, and capslock of his description, that was kind of painful to read. If you are dealing with that much money wouldn't you want to come off as professional? Maybe it's a Nigerian scam...

That's 'cause I'm waiting until the last second to pounce on this one! I know I've got it and it's gonna sound great having that pickup ring on that body!!!

Does anyone think I should get a neck to go with it? I'm a little worried I might not have enough money left over for it, but if you think I can do without then that'll be great!!

I'm not saying its a blatant, very poorly done fake but the control cavity and neck pocket have as much wear and chipped paint as does the exposed body.

Just when you think the world can't possibly get any madder, it does.

I know how much one of the offers were. It was from my buddy and it was only $100. The same guy sold a set of vintage fender pickgaurd screws for $75. I couldn't believe my eyes.
